For a long time Americans preferred things which were mass produced in factories.

But recently many Americans have taken up crafts of various kinds. They make things out of wood, metal, glass, wax, leather and cloth. They usually design the things they make themselves and often they sell what they make too. The work of these crafts people has become very good and very popular.

These people's crafts are sold at craft fairs. These are usually community sponsored events. Some fairs are small, bringing together a dozen or so people. Such fairs are held in shopping centers or churches. At large fairs, several hundred crafts people assemble their works for people to admire and buy. These fairs are held in public parks or on county grounds.

Crafts fairs are usually held on weekends when people are free from work and looking for things to do. The fairs are directed toward families. They offer rides and shows for the children to keep them busy while the parents look at the crafts. The crafts people buy include things to decorate their homes, clothes for their children, and gifts for their friends for holidays, weddings or special occasions. People go to craft fairs rather than shopping at stores because they look for things that are different and original. They also look out for bargains. The prices for works of art at craft fairs are usually very reasonable.

现在我们先听老师把今天测验的三个问题念一遍.

第一个问题是:

M: What are some of the things one can find in a craft fair?

第二个问题是:

M: Where are craft fairs held?

第三个问题是:
